Are you getting rid of the stock oil temp sensor? If so, you could use the port from that sensor for your aftermarket oil temp gauge.

Both 1/8 NPT and 1/8 BSPT are very common. It will depend on who manufactured the gauge.

I should have ordered one of these.

I think he said he was leaving one spot open earlier in the thread. I see 24 pans in the latest pic and only 22 names on the list on page 1 - so jump on it!

24 because one was in the CNC being cut when I took the picture.

There are 25.

I expect the left overs to sell quickly... as soon as these are done I am going to order 10 more bricks to make for inventory units.

PS updated you for black anodize

Yeah, I need a package deal, oil pan, S1.5 fuel system, CJM intake.... oh, and a few hundred thousand dollars.

NICE!

VHR fuel rails are out of stock, waiting on a new fitting I want to try and use to get here... I am going to make some updates to them for the next batch. Already have material here for a huge batch of them, just havent cut them yet. I expect to start cutting them in less than 2 weeks, and rails go pretty quick compared to something like these oil pans.

No rush here. It'll be a winter project. I'll install your stuff over winter, hopefully the intake system is done by then, then I'll drive down to R/T Tuning to swap out uprev for Ecuteck, and figure out what I need to do to pass emissions here as I'll need to do that come Oct 2016. Good times.

i have a brand new oil pan at home and i just poured water in there and it holds 50 oz of liquid .. i filled it to the top where water levels with the oil pan..

50z = 1.5625 qt... stock oil pan

so for ppl with oil pan spacers right now.. it should hold 1 extra qt..

82oz = 2.5625 qt ... stock oil pan with oil pan spacers

so phunk.. if u have time and wanna fill your baffle oil pan up .. u can compare the capacity with your pan vs stock and stock plus spacer..

hope this helps....

I can actually do it right in CAD.

The oil pan flange interior area offers 1.1 quarts per inch of depth.

The billet pan is 1.9" deep on the inside. 1.9x1.1 = 2.09 quarts inside, minus the minor space the baffles take up.

If the stock pan truly holds that much, than a spacer giving an extra quart would be putting the bottom of the pan over 1/2" lower than this one, which would be level or below the cross-member.

So we lose a half quart if we are replacing the spacer for this pan. Hopefully I won't notice that much in oil temperatures.

I cannot say for certain if you are losing any. We can figure on nismo13807's measurement being accurate enough to use... but I still dont have any exact measurement on the oil pan spacers. If they are a full 1" thick, they would displace 1.1 quart. You would be able to tell easily if your oil pan is at or lower than your crossmember.

As for oil temps, I cannot imagine noticing it at all. Oil capacity only acts as a buffer and slows down how quickly the oil system can gain or shed heat. I imagine that without adequate oil cooling, an extra half quart will only be able to slow oil temp for a few brief moments.

no clue.. i did it twice and i got the same result.. first time i used a measuring cup and the second time i used my gym shaker bottle lol

Im sure its close enough to go by! Even if you were off +/- as much as 10-15oz the overall effect is somewhat negligible.

I was thinking about changing the basic baffle top to have some short vertical areas like shown. I have to settle on the top baffle in the next day or two as the laser cutter will cut them in the next few days.

Anything to mitigate oil sloshing laterally is welcome as long as it doesn't impede oil returning to the pan.
